脾氣很壞的男孩
從前，有一個脾氣很壞的男孩。他的爸爸給了他一袋釘子，告訴他，每次發脾氣或者跟人吵架的時候，就在院子的籬笆上釘一根。
第一天，男孩釘了37根釘子。后面的几天他學會了控制自己的脾氣，每天釘的釘子也逐漸減少了。
他發現，控制自己的脾氣，實際上比釘釘子要容易的多。終于有一天，他一根釘子都沒有釘，他高興的把這件事告訴了爸爸。爸爸說：“從今以后，如果你一天都沒有發脾氣，就可以在這天拔掉一根釘子。”
日子一天一天過去，最后，釘子全被拔光了。爸爸帶他來到籬笆邊上，對他說：“兒子，你做得很好，可是看看籬笆上的釘子洞，這些洞永遠也不可能恢復了。”
就象你和一個人吵架，說了些難聽的話，你就在他心里留下了一個傷口，像這個釘子洞一樣。插一把刀子在一個人的身體里，再拔出來，傷口就難以愈合了。無論你怎么道歉，傷口總是在那兒。A要知道，身體上的傷口和心靈上的傷口一樣都難以恢復。

从前, 有一个脾气很坏的男孩，他的爸爸给了他一袋钉子，告诉他，每次发脾气或者跟人吵架的时候就，在院子的篱笆上钉一根。
第一天，男孩钉了37 根钉子。后面的几天他学会了控制自己的脾气，每天钉的钉子也逐渐减少了。
他发现，控制自己的脾气，实际上比钉钉子要容易的多。终于有一天，他一根钉子都没有钉，他高兴地把这件事告诉了爸爸。爸爸说：“从今以后，如果你一天都没有发脾气，就可以在这天拔掉一根钉子。”
日子一天一天过去，最后，钉子全被拔光了。爸爸带他来到篱笆边上，对他说：“儿子，你做得很好，可是看看篱笆上的钉子洞，这些洞永远也不可能恢复了。”

A Little Boy's Anger
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "you have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same."
When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. Always remember that a verbal wound is as bad as a physical one.
